<title>Introduction to TeX Live from source</title>
<note>
<para>
According to <ulink url="https://www.tug.org/historic/"/> the master
site in France only supports ftp and rsync. Now that ftp is generally
deprecated, that page has links to mirrors, some of which support https,
e.g. in Utah and Chemntiz as well as in China. If you prefer to use a
different mirror from the example links here, you will need to navigate
to systems/historic/texlive/&texlive-year; or systems/texlive/&texlive-year;
as the case may be.
<!-- the chinese mirros do not use a 'historic' subdirectory. -->
</para>
</note>
<para>
Most of TeX Live can be built from source without a pre-existing
installation, but <application>xindy</application> (for indexing) needs
working versions of <command>latex</command> and
<command>pdflatex</command> when configure is run, and the testsuite
and install for <command>asy</command> (for vector graphics) will fail
if TeX has not already been installed. Additionally,
<application>biber</application> is not provided within the
<application>texlive</application> source and the version of
<application>dvisvgm</application> in the
<application>texlive</application> tree cannot be built
if shared system libraries are used.
</para>
<para>
</para>
<para>
All of those packages are dealt with on their own pages and can be
built after installing this package. If you have not already done so, you
should start at <xref linkend="tex-path"/> so that the final commands to
initialise the new installation will be found.

<para>
Much of the texlive environment (including scripts, documentation,
fonts, and various other files) is not part of the source tarball.
You must download it separately. This will give you all of the
additional files which are provided by a full install of the binary
version, there is no realistic way to restrict which parts get
installed.
</para>

Because of the size of this package, it is unlikely to be mirrored by
BLFS mirrors. In case of difficulty, go to http://www.ctan.org/mirrors/
to find a more-accessible mirror.

From the 2019 year, the tlpdb database of the packages within texlive is

<title>Installation of TeX Live</title>
<para>
Install TeX Live by running the following commands:
</para>
<caution>
<para>
If you wish to upgrade to current <application>texlive</application>
on an older system where extra packages (<application>asymptote</application>.
<application>biber</application>, <application>dvisvgm</application> or
<application>xindy</application>) have been installed, you will need to
reinstall those as well as fixing up your <literal>PATH</literal> for
<literal>/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;</literal>.
</para>
</caution>
<para>
The shared libraries will be installed into a texlive directory.
As the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user, add it to
your <filename>/etc/ld.so.conf</filename>:
</para>
<screen role="root"><userinput>cat &gt;&gt; /etc/ld.so.conf &lt;&lt; EOF
<literal># Begin texlive &texlive-year; addition
/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;/lib
# End texlive &texlive-year; addition</literal>
EOF</userinput></screen>
<note>
<para>
A successful install requires some texlive
commands to be run as the root user, so we will export the TEXARCH
variable to let <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> use it.
</para>
</note>
<para>
Now, as a normal user:
</para>
<screen><userinput>export TEXARCH=$(uname -m |
sed -e 's/i.86/i386/' -e 's/$/-linux/') &amp;&amp;
mkdir texlive-build &amp;&amp;

Now, as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:

<note>
<para>
Only run <command>make texlinks</command> once. If it is rerun,
it can change all the program symlinks so that they point to
themselves and are useless.
</para>
</note>
<para>
Now install the additional files as the
<systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:

<!-- if texmf does not need to be patched, remove &amp;&amp; from first line,

<screen role="root"><userinput>tar -xf ../../texlive-&texmf-version;-texmf.tar.xz -C /opt/texlive/&texlive-year; --strip-components=1</userinput></screen>
<para>
It has been established by debian that the <command>python</command>
scripts in <filename class="directory">latex-make</filename> will work
with <command>python3</command>, so update them to invoke that by running
the following command as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>
user:
</para>
<screen role="root"><userinput>for F in /opt/texlive/&texlive-year;/texmf-dist/scripts/latex-make/*.py ; do
sed -i 's%/usr/bin/env python%/usr/bin/python3%' $F
done
</userinput></screen>
<para>
Still as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user,
initialise the new system (the commands <command>fmtutil-sys
--all</command> and <command>mtxrun --generate</command> will produce
a <emphasis>lot</emphasis> of output):
</para>
<!-- Editors, fmtutil-sys and mtxrun \-\-generate can apparently only be run on
a real install, as root. But mktexlsr can be run in a DESTDIR with

<screen role="root"><userinput>mktexlsr &amp;&amp;
fmtutil-sys --all &amp;&amp;
mtxrun --generate</userinput></screen>
<para>
You can now proceed to <xref linkend="asymptote"/>,
<xref linkend="biber"/>, <xref linkend="dvisvgm"/> and / or <xref

<para>
<command>--disable-dvisvgm</command>: As noted above, the shipped version
of dvisvgm, which has modified configuration files, cannot be built with
shared system libraries.
</para>

<para>
<command>/sbin/ldconfig</command>: this has to be run here so that
<command>make texlinks</command> can use kpsewhich.

<para>
<command>make texlinks</command> : this runs the texlinks.sh script
to create symbolic links from formats to engines. In
practice, several of the targets such as <command>xetex</command> are now
separate binaries and for these it will report "file already exists".
</para>
<para>
<command>tar -xf texlive-&texmf-version;-texmf.tar.xz -C /opt/texlive/&texlive-year; --strip-components=1</command>:
the tarball contains the files for the texmf-dist directory, and because
of its size we do not want to waste time and space untarring it and then
copying the files.
</para>
<para>
<command>install -v -m644 ../texk/tests/TeXLive/*
/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;/tlpkg/TeXLive/</command>: This puts the perl
modules <filename>TLConfig.pm</filename> and <filename>TLUtils.pm</filename>
into the directory where the binary installer puts them - it is at the
start of the perl @INC@ PATH within texlive when installed using the above
configure switches. Without these modules, texlive is unusable.
</para>
<para>
<command>mktexlsr</command>: Create an <filename>ls-R</filename> file
which lists what was installed - this is used by kpathsea to find files.
</para>
<para>
<command>fmtutil-sys --all</command>: This initializes the TeX formats,
Metafont bases and Metapost mems.
